Character Information

Summary

A leftover cyborg adopted by the Hong Kong triads, fled to pursue a free life, doing what she was literally made to do: operate drones to cover all sorts of operational parameters

Goals

  • Build herself a perfect body, one piece at a time
  • Learn how to live as a person and not a glorified drone assistant
  • Make the triads hunting her down disappear, somehow

Background

Hong Kong is where things that ought not to mix are mashed togheter. Britain and China, Wuxing and Triads, Man and Machine, and, in the case of Ho Sin, his fatherly tendencies and his work.

A brilliant cybertechnologist at Wuxing, Ho Sin had the honor to be one of the minds behind the Hong Kong's archology cyborg program. It was the infancy of the process, and as such, the process was wasteful and the results often not stable. It took a few years, but the intuition of using cloned brains instead of ones harvested by orphans or kids put up for adoption was a good one. At the price of higher cost, the speciments had flawless genetics, well documented patterns and could even be selected for traits such as neuroplasticity and low immunal response.

However, even this line had its black sheeps, brains that showed promise but not the consistency the execs demanded. But alas, Wuxing is not a company that likes waste, and in the city, their darling triad of the Ten Thousand Lions was surviving but not thriving. So, instead of tossing the imperfect speciments away, they were graciously gifted to the triad, alongside with Ho Sin, a man with the capabilities necessary for maintaining them.

Amongst the brains he took with him, he developed a certain affection with the fourth of the combat line. She was discarded for what he evaluated as a minor issue: allergy to some of the components of the nutrient fluid used in the CCU, easily fixable by "homebrewing" the fluid, it was largely water and sugar anyways. This one, instead of putting in a cheap shell and giving up as a soldier, he kept. The body for her was that of an anthro-drone with precision, surgical tools. She was to become an assistant in the lab.

The accellerated learning rate of cyborgs made it so she was effective as an helping hand in little time, and her mansions kept growing and growing as did the repertoir of bodies she used, from roombas to clean to quadrirotors for deliveries. And the more she grew complex and effective, the less he managed to conceptualize their relationship in the lens of owner/property. In a few years, she was his daughter in all but fact, and that dingy clinic hidden behind a korean restaurant had become her domain.

Ho Sin, in fact, was very quickly took in by triad, and instead of just upkeeping the borgs, he had to at first fix and install cyberware, then bioware, and in no time, he was the main provider of medical attention, and 4C was the helping hand he needed, acting as nurse and even stand in surgeon in a few occasion. It was a good life...until life caught up with him. 4C never really got to know why, maybe a gambling debt, maybe an attempt at seducing the wrong woman, but the triads deemed Ho Sin to be...undesirable, and that lead to his death, and with it, the end of everything 4C held dear. As grieving as she was, the triad still needed borg maintenance, and she one day took her chance by quite literally stealing the body of one of her patients, used her knowledge and connections to empty the boss's rainy day fund, and disappeared into thin air.

Coincidencially, a chinese lady rigger appeared out of nowhere in Seattle a few months later, with gear wayyyy too expensive for a no name nobody.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

  • Streetdoc (Analytical Mind, Skillwires) - Neijing was born an molded by cybertechnology, and she is more then willing to practice again on fellow runners
  • Post Metahuman (Cyborg, Cyber-Singularity Seeker, Subtle Pilot) - 4C never had a metahuman body in the first place, and thus her perception of the world has always been 100% digital, making her uncannily comfortable in switching bodies like most do with clothes.

Negative

  • Sins of a Past Life (Wanted, Big Regret) - The shame of helping brutal butchers use fellow cyborgs as cannon fodder, and the shame of having left without even attempting to fix her mistakes.
